MoreThis is a reply to # 809,405I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. Are you taking any antifungals to kill the candida? It sounds like you are doing a great job preparing your body for a life without candida, but do you think some kind of antifungal to get rid of the original infection would help?

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 809,426Oregano oil and garlic are two of the best antifungal supplements. I'm sorry to hear that they are not helping you. When you say that the tests came back that you sill have candida, may I ask, what type of tests are you speaking of? Also, are you rotating antifungals around? Some here believe that is necessary because candida can become resistant to a continuous regiment. But I'm not the resident expert here like Shroom, Carthage, Tyler and some others. I'm currently on a prescription antifungal (Difulcan--a 10-day course of 100 mg). It has really cured my candida, but I'm concerned about it coming back once I go off of it on Saturday. So, I'm preparing my body by taking digestive enzymes, tons of probiotics (Fungal Defense and acidophilus) and eating a diet high in alkaline foods (lots of vegetables). From everything I've learned here, it's a three step process: (1) kill the candida; (2) starve what's left with a good diet; and (3) get a healthy gut filled with good baceria so that there's no room for candida to grow back when it tries to. I hope someone posts here today who can be of more help. But I did want you to know that you have my sympathies. I know it's tough.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 809,426How long has it been? Some of us have been working at healing our bodies for years. It's not an overngiht process. I've had to do a 100% lifestyle change. But it's worth it.
And what are you doing to add the good bacteria back in oyur gut?? Kiling isn't the answer. I could stock a health food store by myself with all the supps I've taken over the years. Diet, exercise, fermented products to add back the good bacteria ( RAW sauerkraut, homemade yogurt, etc ) and bowel cleansing. Many times the liver nees attention too. These are all necessary steps and could take quite some time.
As for leaky guts being healed, I am sorry to say, I doubt that is true because your gut wall is what the candida drills into...so if it's present in large numbers for a long period of time, you'll have leaky gut.- Re: I'm feeling blue paper

This is a reply to # 809,447the tests i had where a saliva and a stool test!! i have been taking something called lactobactilius GG, Milk thistle, Vit c, and some kind of minerals oh also some omega oils!!!
i actually thought the best thing to do is heal the leaky gut first so it becomes a lot stronger then tackle to candida!! So do you think these people are wrong??
where's the best please to look up about the bowel cleansing or can you give me any tips on how to do it?

This is a reply to # 809,521I'm no expert; only known about my candida for 4 months, but thinking logically I don't see how we can heal the leaky gut until the candida and all it's creepy little roots are out of the holes in the gut.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong!

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 809,521Well I tried countless times to heal my leaky gut but it never worked. The supps that were supposed to help just burned the inflamed tissues even more. Now that I'm doing a lot better I am convinced it was the candida drilling in that was causing most of the inflamation/pain. Now if I eat something I'm allergic to or break the diet, it causes a LOT of pain again. But then it calms back down rather qucikly, as there's not nearly so much candida in me anymore. I just can't imagine anything working until we've solved the initial problem which is the candida drilling into the gut wall.
As for bowel cleansing, I'd recomend colonics. I started out with those and I'm sure they saved my life. You would not imagine how much compacted waste I had in me. Small wonder I was having chronic pain in my back, legs and joints. They're not a cure all though...not for us candida folks. Because you still have to solve the problem of getting enough good guys back into your gut. My colonic lady didn't seem to understand that ( nor did I at the time ). She kept wondering why I wasn't completely well after several series of colonics ( about 25 sessions ). Just another case of how this illness is so misunderstood by people. They think you can just buy a couple of bottles of probiotics and be well! It just doesn't work that way ( and I should know...lord knows I've been at this for quite a long time now! )
Anyway, you don't have to use colonics. You can do some fiber based cleanses. Those will clean out your small intestine as well as your large bowel. But they work a lot slower than colonics is all ( which is fine...we aren't in a race and this is a slow process ). And if your insides are extremely inflamed, the psyllium may irritate you more ( it did with me ). Try visiting the Bowel Cleanse Forum for ideas if you like. :-)
Sorry about this long post...just trying to be helpful.
